I don't see any complete source code on that page, unfortunately.

So you say, but then the error messages you include below talk about gimp.h? > gcc.exe "D:\New Folder\hello.c" -o "D:\New Folder\hello.exe" Hmm, actually using a folder called "New Folder" does not seem like a terribly bright idea. You are supposed to rename folders you create to some meaningful name. I would also recommend not using spaces in folder names, it can cause various problems sooner or later. > D:\New Folder\/gimp.h:10: error: syntax error before '*' token Is this gimp.h something you created yourself, or where did you get it from? And why is it in "New Folder"? If it is the standard gimp.h from a GIMP distribution, it should be in a subfolder include\gimp-2.0\libgimp of where you installed the GIMP developer files [1]. Anyway, the normal gimp.h has about twenty lines of comments at the beginning, so how can line 10 have a syntax error? --tml [1] There doesn't seem to be any GIMP development package for Win32 at the gimp-win.sf.net site. There is one at http://www.gimp.org/win32/gimp-dev-2.2.7.zip . Maybe it should be advertised somewhere, although I initially intended it to be just temporary until gimp-win.sf.net would offer also a developer package. If you haven't already gathered the same headers and import libraries from somewhere else, you probably want to download that and point your compiler to use headers and (import) libraries from there. _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
